How Julie’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small actions that match those values. It is often used for grief, depression, and major life changes to help people move toward a meaningful life despite hard emotions.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and supporting the client’s own insight. The therapist follows the client's pace, reflects what is said, and helps people notice their strengths so they can make choices that fit their goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She describes herself as working alongside clients, adjusting the tools used as progress and challenges emerge.

Julie provides therapy exclusively online, so it is important to confirm specific session options when booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use mindfulness and behavioral exercises in everyday settings, which can help apply new skills between sessions.
